Rainbow Scrappy Saturday

Can you believe it’s almost the end of March already.  

Here is my March Rainbow Scrappy 12” block in green.  I think I may trim it down and add a log cabin frame.  But I’ll wait until I’ve completed all my blocks before deciding.

It was a good way to try out the Inklingo Pies and Tarts shape collection.   I used the back baste appliqué method for this block after  both hand piecing the pie and machine piecing the tarts.  The placement circles were printed on the back of the background fabrics using this shape collection, as were the cutting and stitching lines for the wedges.   The greens and background came out of my scrap bag.

I also made a couple of Disappearing 4 Patch blocks to try out the technique.   I followed the tutorial on Beth’s blog Love Laugh Quilt  here.

Here is the picture of them so far :-I’m not quite sure what I’ll make with this, it is 10” x 20” at the moment.   I have a couple of ideas floating around in my head, for example, a small table runner or maybe a little block holder case. I could do with one of those for some of my hand piecing projects so that is at the moment the favourite idea.   Unless anyone else has an idea for this pair of blocks ;) ?

I really didn’t make a very big indent into my surprisingly large collection of green scraps but I have learned to see green in a new light.   I don’t dislike it quite so much :)

That’s all for now, have a great weekend.. oh and if you’d like to see other Rainbow Scrappy Saturday reports go see Angela’s blog SoScrappy .

Happy quilting,
